Modern defence: move by move (Everyman Chess)

This series provides an ideal platform to study chess openings. Aby continually challenging the reader to answer probing questions throughout the book, the Move aby Move format greatly encourages the learning and practising of vital skills just as much as the traditional assimilation of opening knowledge. Carefully selected questions and answers are designed to keep you actively involved and allow you to monitor your progress as you learn. This is an excellent way to study any chess opening and at the same time improve your general chess skills and knowledge. The Modern Defence is an ambitious, counter-attacking choice for Black which can be played against all mainline openings. In typical hypermodern style, Black allows White to occupy the centre and then proceeds to undermine this centre with pawn and piece attacks. In this book, Cyrus Lakdawala examines the key variations of the Modern Defence. He shares his experience and knowledge, presents a repertoire for Black and provides answers to all the key questions. *Essential guidance and training in the Modern Defence *Covers the Modern against 1 e4, 1 d4 and 1 c4 *Utilizes an ideal approach to chess study
